Working together for a cleaner environment: The ARKU team takes action again!

Baden-Baden – Once again this year, apprentices and students at ARKU Maschinenbau joined forces with members of the management team to help protect the environment. Following last year's successful cleanup initiative, the team continued its efforts in 2026. The goal was once again to remove litter from natural areas in the region and make a positive contribution to environmental protection.

Under sunny skies, the dedicated volunteers headed to Ooser Park "Grüne Einfahrt" in Baden-Baden to clean up litter left behind by others. Although the park appeared clean at first glance, a closer look revealed a surprising amount of trash.

It was especially encouraging to see five young helpers join the effort. The children of ARKU employees eagerly pitched in, showing that environmental awareness can start at an early age.

The entire management team also rolled up their sleeves and joined the cleanup efforts. By collecting litter alongside the team, they demonstrated ARKU's strong sense of teamwork and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Among the most unusual finds were a mattress and a bicycle, with the bicycle even being pulled out of a creek. These unexpected discoveries once again highlighted the importance of such initiatives and how much trash is still carelessly discarded in nature.

Beyond the cleanup itself, the event was also a great opportunity to strengthen team spirit. The sunny weather created a positive atmosphere and made the initiative an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

This initiative reflects ARKU's corporate culture, which actively promotes social responsibility and teamwork.
